Tester’s Comments
“I have a cob that is clipped for most of the year so a good New Zealand is important, particularly in the winter,” said Rebecca Pattenden. “This rug was a good fit and the neck cover was a real bonus.
“It didn’t slip or move and kept Thomas warm and dry. I found the cross over surcingales a bit fiddly because they have to go through slots in the rug.
“The rug has ripped in a couple of places but this is due to the fact that Thomas plays with the other horses in the field and they tend to grab each other’srugs.
“After heavy rain I was impressed that the rug dried overnight and was able to be used the following morning. It’s good value for money and I would buy another one.”
